    146-mile race in the Sahara. Six stages over 6 days. Self-sufficient for food, clothing, first aid, map, compass etc. Only water is given by organisers. Costs an arm and a leg to do, but if you have the readies and the commitment, then train bloody hard and don't go clubbing beforehand.

    Respect to my sister Marly (who married Alan - see London travelpages!) who completed the race. Author and sister are in the picture, back left row, wearing blue shamaghs.

    Yikes. I guess there is a specialised web page for the kit one needs. Back in 1996 I just modified my army bergen.

    Nice.

    The Sahara marathon requires professional equipment and the best top to wear is the Crystal Palace away strip football (soccer) shirt, season 1995-96. No other team or vintage will do.

    It wicks sweat from the surface and ingrains it into the shirt which becomes a foul, stinking piece of cloth requiring biohazardous precautions when placing it in the washing machine.

    CPFC club house, innit.
